Come to MAC we need you, and we have cookies. Honestly, I have had this MAC desktop for 4 years, and I have never had an issue with it. One of the greatest investments I have ever made. It may cost more, but you get what you pay for.

As an IT tech guy in a large Law firm, we are constantly trying to keep up with the demand of technology from our customers (our attorneys) and even their clients in some cases. Our biggest thing right now was trying to push an 8.1 image, but it looks like most of that crapped the bed recently with the amount of applications that will/will not play nice with 8.1. I believe we will wait until Windows 9 to do anything significant. However, we are going to push an updated Win 7 image with Office 2013, maybe even go 64 bit. That should be fun.

Most of our attorneys have some sort of mobile device other than the laptop we issue them, ranging from iPads to Surfaces, etc. They don't have our image on them, mainly because that's just a major PIA to deal with. Firm mail is available through Mobile Iron or Good and they can use VMWare if they need to touch the network.

But yeah, I can't see all of our employees just up and moving from Win 7 to 8.1 without any pushback. I mean everyone on my team is good with it because we're IT guys, but the normal user may be a little confused, sad, and probably even a little pissed off if thrown into the fire. lol
